We thought you might like a few handy hints to help make your holiday as stress free and enjoyable as possible because resorts in February are very busy.

Getting to your BASS Les Gets Lessons

The meeting instructions for your lessons will be sent to you by email a few days before the first session. Make sure you know the name of the instructor that you are looking for so you can find them easily.

The BASS Les Gets meeting point is at the top of the Chavannes red gondola, next to the Yeti Café. Your teachers will be waiting for you between the café and the La Croix chairlift.

The Gondola opens at 09.00 and there will be queues so please get there early to be ahead of ski school lines that meet at the bottom at 9 o’clock.

Competent skiers can also use the Express Chavannes chairlift, which also opens at 9.00 and drops you above the ski school meeting point. Then ski down the blue run which does get steep towards the bottom.

There is also an option to avoid the queues and drive to the top of the Chavannes gondola where parking is free of charge. Be aware that this area gets very busy by late morning but it’s ideal if you have 09.15 lessons.

What if You’re Running Late?

Don’t worry, we’re not like Easyjet with an ‘if you’re late, we won’t wait’ policy. We understand it can be tricky getting organised, especially on the first day.

However, if you are joining a group lesson, we will have other skiers, itching to get started.

So, if you think you are running late, call the BASS office, [0033 (0)450 747859], and we will make sure the teachers know that you are on your way.

If you’ve not arrived on time, the teacher may take the group for a short warm up run but will then pass by the meeting point to collect you. Please be patient as this could take a few minutes.

End of Lessons

For parents with children skiing with BASS, we think it’s really important for us to tell you about what they have been learning, what to practice and generally update you about your child’s progress. The junior groups will be at the meeting point 5 minutes before the lesson end time for us to be able to do this.

It’s also very reassuring for children to see their Mum or Dad waiting for them at the end of their lesson.

Again, if you are running late, please let the BASS office know so that we can reassure your children.

And finally, here’s a link to the Les Gets ski area map, which will be helpful if you’ve not visited the area before.

We look forward to seeing you soon.

This was the perfect ski school for my slightly nervous eight year old who'd had a previous not so good experience with another ski school in the past. The smaller groups and fantastic instructors made the whole week a fun experience. Jazz and George were both great. Getting down and talking to the kids at their level. The right amount of gentle encouragement and persitance to bring on confidence and ski level in just five days. Very pleased with his badge! Thank you

Just had a week in Morzine where my daughter and stepdaughter completed Junior Blue 2. Fantastic experience AGAIN!

I'd urge other parents to get in touch with BASS without hesitation....Thank you Tom and BASS. Happy skiing and keep up the great work.

I learnt loads in my lessons and I noticed a real improvement in my skiing, every time I have more lessons with BASS I feel more confident.

Myself and my boyfriend went skiing in March, we are far apart in ability as he has skied since he was 10 and I've been 3 times now over 7 years (We are both aged 23/24).

The last time I went skiing I lost confidence as I didn't have a good ski school to guide me. I started to feel as though skiing wasn't for me and that I couldn't do it.

This year was my first time skiing with Bass and it definitely won't be the last. Marc took myself and 2 others out for the "Approaching Parallel" adult class. He built up our confidence during the week and made the lessons fun too! He made me realise that I had been taught incorrectly the last time I had gone. I now I can't wait to go back which is how you should feel after a week of skiing!

Thanks Marc and Bass!

Best skiing lessons I've ever had; I thought I was incapable when I arrived in Morzine. Tom deserves high praise for patiently coaxing us from the nursery slope to the chair lifts & beyond. Our group may not have progressed as fast as some, but Tom progressed us at our own rate & in a way that was so much fun I can't wait for next year.

Memories are made by good people who are true to their beliefs and care about each and every one of their clients. Thank you BASS. We'll see you again next year.

This is my second year having lessons with BASS and they are, in one word, amazing. Nothing is a problem and each instructor I have had lessons with have been amazing, patient and paid attention to our needs. Would recommend them to everyone and will use them again every time.

George was patient, great at simplifying the technical aspects and, best of all, massively positive. Great feedback after each run and really helpful intros and instructions for the next. Confidence levels improved hugely... Can't rate highly enough...thanks George!

Adrian F

The content of the course and - in particular - the presentation by George was absolutely outstanding. His ability to encourage and give confidence was truly amazing and he deserves much credit.

Stuart Hardwick

Incredibly helpful, friendly and focused on helping me to be a better skier. Nothing too much trouble, always efficient and keen to tailor to individual needs and requirements. Brilliant - I've been having lessons with you for years now and always learn something new and come away with my confidence levels improved.

Just back from a great week skiing in Morzine. Our 2 young boys both had lessons through BASS. They loved it, and progressed so well! The small groups and really interactive teaching was miles better than the big groups of 15 or so you see the French schools doing...... Will be going back to BASS again next year!
